Ryan quits radio station in 'censorship' row

FORMER Limerick hurling manager Tom Ryan resigned in protest from a local radio station yesterday after an interview with independent European election candidate Kathy Sinnott was pulled.

RLO station owner Ger Madden told Mr Ryan that "under no circumstances" was Kathy Sinnott to appear on his late night current affairs and chat show.

"The programme was pulled without a reason. Ger Madden was in no mood for debate, so I had no option but to resign because it was just outright censorship," Mr Ryan said.
